What should you expect once you reach the hospital? This lesson is the guy's guide to the biggest birthday of your life. From the trip to the hospital to the trip home and everything in between, DadLabs give you the inside scoop on labor and delivery. Tour a hospital. Peek inside at a labor and delivery room. Laugh along with a pair of veteran dads that have cut the cord and lived to tell the tale. "Push" play and be ready to "breath" easier.

In this lesson, Dadlabs will tour a Labor and Delivery room, explain the hospital check-in process, discuss the physical process of birth, including contractions, different pain medication options, natural birth and epidurals, and pushing contractions. The DadLabs Dads speak with an OB/GYN about the birth process. They also review common birthing classes, and why it might be a good idea to attend one.

For more information and insights from Daddy Troy, Daddy Clay, Daddy Brad, and the rest of the community at DadLabs, be sure to check out www.dadlabs.com. This particular lesson is an excerpted portion of the DVD, "Due Dads: the Man's Guide to Labor and Delivery."
